Long Answer

1. Miranda’s mother is angry because of the reality of the situation. She tells Miranda, “Family is all that matters.” She points out to Miranda that by the time she went to get Dan, they could have run out of food, and when Miranda argues back that her mother has taught her to share, Miranda’s mother replies, “Sharing is a luxury. We cannot afford luxuries right now.” This reaction makes Miranda realize that her mother thinks they are going to die. (Chapter 6)

2. Miranda comes to the conclusion that she writes in her journal for several reasons. She sometimes thinks that she is writing to keep a record of her experiences for future generations, but she also writes to remind herself of her own experiences (good and bad).
